    I suggest Mint for new users (and lazy old users like me). All of the simplicity of Ubuntu, without Canonical’s shit

        Not a good choice for people who want to play games. Debian focuses on stability so their packages are typically outdated.

            Any rolling distro that you enjoy is the way to go here I suppose. I’d also hitch my wagon to and arch variant personally but tumbleweed wasn’t terrible either. Just not my mojo.

      What about Arch? I was told:

      mint is garbage. The only thing easier about mint or any of those “noob friendly” distros is the initial install

      any time you want to do anything outside of its strict little ecosystem it becomes a massive headache

      arch’s wiki is unparalleled

        Mint is for people who generally don’t want to do weird shit, which is most new users. If you do, it’s not any harder than doing it on Ubuntu or Debian.

        If you want in-depth tinkering, go with Arch. If you want newer packages than a Debian base but not necessarily much tinkering, go with Tumbleweed. You’re just going to have to learn a different package manager for each.

        I personally am most comfortable in an environment that has apt, and I don’t change much on my systems, so Mint is nice. My servers are straight Debian

        Sounds like neckbeard bullshit honestly, Mint is just fine. Arch is “better” if you like tinkering

      Ubuntu without snaps or nagging about Ubuntu Pro. I was annoyed with both so I switched over from Ubuntu Mate to Linux Mate and have been enjoying it.
